SCRIPTURE: Hebrews (NIV) 7:24 …because Jesus lives forever, he has a permanent priesthood. 25 Therefore he is able to save completely those who come to God through him, because he always lives to intercede for them. 26 Such a high priest meets our need—one who is holy, blameless, pure, set apart from sinners, exalted above the heavens. 27 Unlike the other high priests, he does not need to offer sacrifices day after day, first for his own sins, and then for the sins of the people. He sacrificed for their sins once for all when he offered himself.
OBSERVATION: Here is the heart of Christianity. The One who created it all, demonstrated His great capacity to love by inserting Himself into the flow of humanity to become the sinless sacrifice for our sins!!! “He offered Himself!!!” He offered His “holy, blameless, pure,” sinless blood to be the payment for our sins!!!
APPLICATION: The life God put in Adam, the life which Adam and Eve passed on to every person who has ever lived is never-ending life. Of course, the physical life dies, but the soul/spirit of man lives on—either in heaven or hell.
On earth, Jesus lived with the purpose of dying for our sins. Now in heaven He lives to “intercede”/pray for those who have been completely saved by coming to God through His sacrificial death! He is what I needed!
He is what you need! Pray with me…
PRAYER: Jesus, I accept the sacrifice you offered for me. Forgive my sins. Cleanse my heart from all wickedness and evil. Live in my heart, by your Holy Spirit, as the LORD of my life. Thank you for taking my place and dying for me. Now help me to take your place in living this life you have given me. In your Holy Name, Amen
